This was an important question
asked during an interview session by a certain company. The management actually
decided to employ the person who answered this question most appropriately.
There was of course no right or wrong answer to this question but it all
depends on how each individual answers it. Read the question below & think
of how you would answer it before you scroll down to see the ‘best’ answer
given by this particular person, who of course got employed.
On a dark & stormy night with
rain pouring heavily, wind blowing wildly, lightning striking fiercely &
thunder sounding loudly....... It was 2am.
You were driving a 2-seater car by yourself on a very lonely stretch of
the countryside in this terrible storm when you came to a sheltered bus stop.
There were 3 people at the bus stop.... 1 was a doctor who saved your life
previously when you had a heart attack. Another was an extremely sick old man
who seemed on the verge of death while the 3rd was the dream of your
life, someone whom you had wanted to get to know for a long time!
The stormy weather was getting
worse & the 3 people in the sheltered bus stop were getting wet from the
heavy rain. Lightning continued to strike & thunder roared....... The
question is: What would you do in a situation like this? Remember..... You have
only a 2-seater car & will not be able to ferry all the 3 people in your
car to a more sheltered place.
So, what would you do?
Ponder this situation & think
of an answer before you go down for the
supposedly ‘best’ answer!
Most said they’ll drive the old
man then followed by the doctor. Several
say since the old man’s dying & they might not be able to save him by the
time he reaches the hospital, they might as well drive the dream of their life
and secure their future?!! So, what was the answer that impressed the
interviewer so much?
This particular person said “i’ll
get out of my car, pass the car key to the doctor to drive the old man to the
hospital so he might be able to save him just like he saved me. Then i’ll be
able to be with the dream of my life together in the sheltered bus stop.”
With this answer, that person got
the job immediately. As human beings, we are naturally selfish. From all the
other answers given, none of them actually thought of giving up their
car.......
It is not something wrong but at
times, our thoughts are too narrow Minded & we think mainly of ourselves.
Hope you all learn from this & if Your interviewers ask you similar
questions, you’ll be equipped & be able to answer the questions with ease.
